kill PT_ATTACHED

Since the patch

	"Fix ptrace_attach()/ptrace_traceme()/de_thread() race"
	commit f5b40e363a

we set PT_ATTACHED and change child->parent "atomically" wrt task_list lock.

This means we can remove the checks like "PT_ATTACHED && ->parent != ptracer"
which were needed to catch the "ptrace attach is in progress" case.  We can
also remove the flag itself since nobody else uses it.
